They have 5 successful social platforms:
Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Workplace, Threads.
The latter has reached 130m+ users after all.
- marcus_holmes 3y agoNever heard of Workplace before (unless that's the metaverse thing, in which case it's clearly not successful). And "threads is successful" is dubious: the key point of the article is that it isn't.
- threeseed 3y agoWorkplace is the market leading enterprise social network. And if building a hundred million user social network in such a rapid timeframe isn't a success not sure what is.
- marcus_holmes 3y agoyeah, exactly. We're not sure this is success.
- numpad0 3y agoWorkplace is private Facebook for large orgs. So just Facebook. Doesn't seem like a total flop, though. I'd rather think that Facebook had been consistently successful in catering its cohort. That targeted cohort might just have too little overlap with users in market for Twitter/Mastodon/Threads, but as far as Facebook/Instagram(post-acquisition) are concerned the users seem satisfied with Meta-run social media to me.
- rchaud 3y agoLarge orgs aren't using FB enterprise offering, they're on Teams or Slack.
